*"If you ever listen to the sounds of the railway at night, you will hear a thundering whistle, strong wheels pounding the rails, and the happy chortle of a once broken soul reborn. This is the sound of The Flying Kipper. It's engine.... proud, noble, enterprising. Thy name is Henry!."*
Why did I read this in a George Carlin voice? Edit: even though I don't think the thy name is Henry line would've fit with GC tho. I'd also tack in how sometimes when Henry is ill or broken, James would pull The Kipper
Henry is a reminder that no matter what struggles life throws at you or what disabilities you have, you can accomplish anything! That's why he's my favorite character.
He's my favorite too. I got sick a few months back for the first time in 13 years and when I was recovering, Herny's Special Coal, The Flying Kipper, and Whistles and Sneezes became 3 episodes I watched almost once a day. I truly think Henry helped me get better.
For me Henry (model series) is sort of a phrase "No matter how hard your life could be; you'll come back stronger and better." He's a fighter, being a flawed design yet still push through hardship until given an opportunity to be rebuilt and made a come back like a boss. P.S. I also kinda like his theme too, UpsideNow's orchestra arrangement really made it so epic.
Both the golden era models and RWS. HiT made him too feeble and incapable, both physically and emotionally, and CGI expanded on that and made his character much worse from there.
Henry really is the Island of Sodor's ultimate chad. After Gordon, he has probably the greatest character arc in both _The Railway Series_ and the model series. An arc that really makes you feel and root for the guy. Too bad with the exception of a few episodes, they totally butchered him in cgi.
Watching anything post-season 21 is really difficult for me because Henry isn't there. As a newer fan, I connected with Henry instantly because of his personality and love for nature, as well as his inspiring comeback story. I knew only after a few episodes that he would be my favorite. Anytime I watch Gordon have a moment or a good episode after Series 21, I wonder how it would've been if Henry was there. It's hardly even the same show with your fav character missing. And what sucks the most was how when they FINALLY found the perfect sweetspot between moody, but kind Model Henry and sensitive, meek CGI Henry... they kicked him off the show. I miss you Henry. We all do.
@@africananimalogist4190well, like Edward, Henry had moved to a new shed, but for him it was in Vicarstown. I’m not sure why they did this, other than to make way for a new engine, but he was no longer part of the Steam Team as a result. I believe that’s why he rarely appears after season 21, if at all.
Here’s my head canon for how the rebuild could conceivably work. Henry’s cab, firebox, and boiler were severely damaged in the crash, but his frame, wheels, and smoke box managed to survive. I’m thinking a something on the side of the tracks put a large dent in the firebox, which is so small the damage reached the boiler and cab. So at Crewe, they cut out his damaged section and replaced them with an unfinished Black 5 they were building at the time.
That's pretty much my head cannon too. Also, Henry seems to be one of the more reliable performers after he comes back from being repaired, so he probably has a leg up on even the typical black 5.
Just imagine gordon pulls up behind henry and breaks down pulling 10 coaches full of passengers and henry helps both hiro and gordon while taking on bad coal that would be so cool
I had never known just how much Awdry hated Henry initially, and that he intended to write him out of the series. You do a great job really going in depth with these videos, they’re very informative and insightful! Awesome!
If you ask me, the CGI series, especially the Brenner era should have Henry's character being a combination of his grumpy trait and his kinder, softer trait in it along with his nature loving side too.
I think another reasoning why they didn't bring back Henry's nature-loving side in the Brenner era was because Andrew Brenner is still not pleased of how he was left uncredited in the S3 adaptation of Henry's Forest, but to be fairly honest, the magazines don't even credit him as writer either (not sure he was aware of it too) and obviously, Awdry never even read the Thomas Marvel Comics, so imagine if those two ever met and the subject of Henry's Forest is brought up...then they would've hit cards.
You know I started getting into Thomas in the early 2010s by then the CGI season were underway and get this I thought the actual Henry was a scaredy cat thanks for showing me the real Henry
Out of the original seven engines from Season 1, Henry has always been my favorite. Whether it be his inspiring and feel-good character journey, or the many fantastic stories he led in both the RWS and model series, something about Sodor's big green tender engine has always hit different. Henry is one of the all-time greats of the franchise, and a key character in it.
I love this character(specifically modeled version), and Henry walled up in the tunnel is always one of the first images I see when I think of the show
Henry is a wonderful character to relate to. No matter what disabilities or prolonged illnesses he suffers from, he always wants to keep going and work hard. In the beginning, the other engines don’t take his illnesses into consideration and claim that he is lazy and overweight. But we finally get a couple of episodes which give us a deeper look into Henry’s struggles. Henry is also a complex character because he can be just as arrogant as Gordon and James. However, he is probably the nicest towards the littler engines and the most sensitive out of the tender engines, second to Edward.
The new format for Sodor’s finest is awesome and I love it a lot, makes it so much more entertaining, in depth and fun. Love Henry and this video made me appreciate him all the more when I first watched him and it still does now, he was done so dirty in CGI, wish he wasn’t. He deserved better, he’s one of the best
What I don’t get about BWBA is you can just add Nia and Rebecca. It’s not that hard. You had the perfect opportunity too with James destroying Tidmouth. Just make tidmouth how it looks in the later railway series. The giant shed with the indoor turn table. Suddenly you can add nia, Rebecca, Donald and Douglas into the sheds or anyone else! The fans would love that too
Henry deserves more respect both in CGI and the Classic Seasons. He is probably my second favorite. First one being Thomas ofc. Anyways cool video! So happy you're channel didn't get copyrighted so many times then one. And so happy some of you're videos got back! Especially the video of you ranking Thomas movies! Which I loved every second of listening! Keep up the great work! Hopefully you're channel does not get copyrighted again!
The journeys of "The Three Railway Engines" - aka Henry, Gordon and Edward - were more complex in themes than they let on, especially when most fans may be more familiar with the spotlighted Thomas, Percy and James as characters. Edward's themes encompass the ability to adapt to a new situation to stay strong, and the message you don't need in necessity to be in the spotlight so much to be effective. Gordon's full arc symbolises the theme of transcending from being a self-prioritising character to a reputable and appreciative worker. Henry's arc can be compared to Prince Adam/Beast from "Beauty and the Beast"; a character with themes of having to transcend his bothersome circumstances to getting a grip with his benefits when respected. Regards, Samuel Farris.
I am so glad you reposted this one as when explaining Henry to people I refer them to this video as it's the best indepth explanation of his history ever. My dad used to tell me Henry's story but he was getting some of the details wrong and never enough of them. This video tells all and I love that about it. Amazing video that I'm glad is back on the internet for all to see.
I found it interesting that Henry's personality in each timeline is described by how he acts and the reason he stayed in his tunnel. Like the model series, where he doesn't want his paint to be ruined
people love Henry in Super Rescue or just Super Rescue in general, but it's the journey that Henry took from being built from stolen plans, steaming issues and his rebuild after the kipper crash it's what makes Henry a fav character of mine.
it's a shame about the CGI flanderization because i really do love Henry's facial design/animation and voice (UK and US) in the CGI series. maaaybe the worrier personality could've been kept but not to such an extreme (obviously) and have it stem from his self-image/self-consciousness and not, like, snowmen?? and RAIN?!?!
My favorite Henry is both the RWS Henry & the Model Series Henry (Seasons 1-7). Henry's story has always been the most inspiring I ever heard, and his arc from sad beginnings to a glorious ending is my favorite of the Railway Series.
What I mostly appreciate about Henry's character was that he was still flawed even after he had suffered his disability in season 1. The writers could've easily just made Henry happy and go-lucky after he was rebuilt and had overcome all of his unfortunate hardships. Instead, the writers chose to have Henry become self-conscious of his image and believe that he deserves better (or more than he deserves) because of his hard life. A theory I have of Henry's character is that he was originally just supposed to be a tool to help solidify the stereotypes of the "big engines" on Sodor in the early books. Henry was probably intentionally written as a second Gordon so that it would become clear to the audience that the big Sodor engines are the most pompous, egotistical engines on the island. I'm glad that they added a new layer of complexity to his character in season 3 in order to differentiate him. His softer side in season 3 really helped break the negative "big engine" stereotypes that he was used to construct in the earlier seasons.
Henry is one of the best engines of the steam team, I prefer the model series too. The books are good too, but the cgi Henry is a scaredy cat 🙀. They could not remember Henry doesn’t need special coal throughout the series, but his love for nature. And why would they make him so frightened about everything? Doesn’t the writers pay attention to the character throughout the series? Good review and glad you upload it.
I feel like I appreciate Henry a wee bit more now! I always saw him as a second to Gordon, a similar build or engine, I didn't realise that was him who was poorly and didn't even know about Awdry's plans to write him out! It's certainly funny now, knowing his backstory!
Henry’s Hidden Secrets: Why the hit era retconned Henry using special coal again What if, Henry had gotten used to using special coal, he actually continued using it even after his restoration? This also affected his firebox, hence when Gordon took his special coal, Henry had a bad performance. Why he keeps screaming in the TV series Henry has PTSD. Why? Throughout his life he’s gone through many terrible experiences. So the Flying Kipper and Haunted Henry happened in the CGI series offscreen. This had an impact on him, hence why he was scared of Charlie, disguised as a Snowman and the Flatbeds of Fear. This continued into season 19 as he started screaming because of Chicken Pox. Henry’s Love of Nature When Henry was sent to crewe to be repaired, he didn’t see any trees or flowers anywhere. So when he returned Henry felt good about seeing forests. Why he is literally afraid of rain I believe, Henry was afraid of the rain in The Adventure Begins not because it would ruin his paint, he was afraid of the rain because it would affect his steaming problems.
"Tonight, on EyeWitness News: Reverend Wilbert Awdry, creator of the much loved children's character Thomas the Tank Engine, is successfully resurrected over 25 years since his death." Awdry: "Does the TV series still make Henry a silly nature lover?" Reporter: "No, actually, he's now a hypochondriac. There's an episode where he's scared of a snowman." Awdry: "Good night!" (flatlines)
I'm not gonna lie, I love Henry in a couple of CGI series episodes and especially in the CGI special Hero of The Rails. One CGI episode, for example, is Henry's Good Deeds because that's where Henry continues acting like Edward. Because of the wanting to assist. I actually love that.
Henry is one of my three top favorite characters in Thomas and Friends along with Edward and Toby and Henry was the first engine I was introduced to in his episode the Sad Story of Henry in season one when I was three years old and it was my great grandmother’s 100th birthday and he has had a special place in my heart ❤️ ever since thanks for sharing this great video highlighting my childhood favorite engine 👍💚🚂
Out of all the engines featured in Thomas and Friends, Henry was the engine I related to the most. Growing up as a kid, I guess you could say that I was the odd one out. Had a great understanding with my family, even if they did get frustrated with me (Much like Henry's relation to the fat controller) but at school I was always seen as the socially awkward one. Again, much like how all the other engines saw Henry. However, much like the number 3 engine on Sodor, I was able to eventually rise above and push through.
I really love Henry being a jerk, it's very true to him. If I had to rewrite the bad Henry episodes I would make him act a little more arrogant. Hold on, the writers did made him act like that in Season 20 in the episode Henry in the Dark when he gets cross with James and Gordon for teasing him.
He’s basically the King Stefan of Sodor, due to them being grumpy and wrathful while being gentle giants. But if Henry did more admirable deeds on his own like life saving, he would fit well as Near Pure Good.
Every time I see one of your videos that have CGI Henry, I get to notice more and more how much of a disaster he is compared to the Model and Railway series.
As far as the CGI series is concerned with Henry's shape, I do think he was in his old shape at one point, but his flying kipper accident could have been retconned to have happened before Thomas came to the island, so he would have technically always been in this new shape. And when Thomas found out about the accident, whoever told him might have sugar-coated the fact that it was a lot more of a serious accident than initially thought.
Nobody points out the little bond between Henry and his driver in the early seasons. I love their interactions, and you don't really see that with other engines and their crew in the series. I wish we could've seen more of that, and that sort of stuff with other characters in the series. I just really wish they would've fleshed out some of the human characters a bit more, y'know?
Ngl, I never liked the CGI Series, but I DID like "Henry's Hero" and "Henry In The Dark" for said reasons. At least we got fans who can take henry and keep him out of the terrors of the CG Series with their own recreations of his best moments. 😁
I love Henry his story is awesome but you can’t deny the fact that he was an idiot for thinking that the rain would “spoil his lovely green paint with red stripes” it’s water and can be easily dried up.
Do you know what I find funny? The Middleton drawings of Henry resemble the North Eastern Railway's S, S1 and S2 (LNER B13, B14, B15) 4-6-0s, by dropping the trailing axle you could easily have made Henry one of those and avoided the whole sickness, crash, reconstruction plot. Bonus points if the original S class was picked because they had shallow fireboxes that made them less efficient steamers and saw Worsdell immediately build a class of Atlantics for the top express services with the S's being relegated to less strenuous work.
In my AU Henry "Was" an Altlantic but had a Small Firebox at First, Sir Topham Hatt was Happy that he got an Atlantic but then later got Mad that Henry did Run As Properly as An Atlantic would, He would need special coal throughout most of 1934, and then In Late 1934 when the Flying Kipper Crash took place Henry was sent to Crewe, where he would be turned into an LMS Black 5 (An Accurate One, Not One That Looks Like The TVS Model), To this Day he is The Only Atlantic to Be Converted into a Black 5
I really disagree with Awdry's statement regarding why a steam engine would like scenery. What would a sentient train like? Not roads, that's a rivalry. A train would care for their railway, their passengers, their paint colours (see Henry being painted blue at the end of book 1). And with the railway comes the scenery. In the books, trains did mention that their line is the best (Gordon seeing Edward's line as vulgar, Thomas really enjoying his branch line, etc.), so trains are already written to prefer some lines more than others, so why wouldn't Henry specifically like the forest part of the railway? It's a beautiful part, and it fits his green colors
I’m kinda in the minority of liking Henry when he’s timid. It’s weird since I started off the series in the books as opposed to the CGI series where that characterization is the most prominent. In my opinion, the biggest weakness of the original books and, by extension, the original series, is that the characters weren’t diverse enough in terms of personality. Basically everybody had a superiority complex of some sort and was generally rude to everyone else with a few noteworthy exceptions, at least in the early books. Gordon, James, and Henry got this the worst throughout. I get that the point was for them to be a little clique, but there wasn’t enough to differentiate them meaningfully. By rewriting Henry to be more softspoken and cautious, it adds layers of dimension not only to him, but to his dynamic with James and Gordon as well. My personal headcanon is informed by this. My interpretation is that Henry got the idea that large tender engines were expected to act like Gordon, all self-important and grand, and when James came along that preconception only got cemented more. Keeping up appearances that way also serves as a way for him to mask his disability with his small firebox, something we know he’s very self-conscious about, at least before getting rebuilt (though the CGI series suggests it’s still an issue for him). I like to think that after spending more time alone, on different parts of the island, and making some new friends, he comes to drop the act a bit, and starts getting ragged on more by Gordon and James for acting less like them. Henry actually became my favorite character after watching the CGI series because of how unique he was and how much his personality had evolved. He’s nothing if not adorable and consistent, and I like both of those things. The Railway Series brainrot has got me bad…
I'm really glad Awdry decided to keep and work with Henry than get rid of him. I love all the characters, but Henry holds a special place as an actual comfort character due to his struggles and being the "problem child" of the family. When I was young, I used to get sick all the damn time. While I wasn't like my mom who broke both her arms and an ankle during her childhood, I wasn't spared when it came to getting every cold and flu that came along with being at school. A lot of the days I missed as a young kid were due to me just not kicking these illnesses to the curb as quick as a lot of kids. Hell, even if I'm better now, about every little thing under the sun can set me off into a sneezing fit. Makes me wonder if being as constantly sick as I was as a kid has damaged my sinuses. If Awdry had his way and got rid of Henry, I don't think I'd ever have a comfort character. I love the other engines to death, but the only one I relate to is Henry. It's a horrible feeling when your health holds you back.
Chris also handled him fairly well. His arc kinda dates back to his first ever debut story in the entirety of the Railway Series, when he complained about his own image.
my theory is that Henry still needs special coal,but not that much. i think that when he was sent to Crewe,they rebuilt him and fixed almost all of his steaming problems,but he’s still ill sometimes like everyone but just needs special coal. one of the few characters that need it. just take this with a grain of salt.
Henry’s Spots Trouble should’ve instead had been called Edward, Henry and the Spots and be a down to earth slice of life episode where Henry is told that Sir Topham Hatt’s grandkids have chickenpox and it makes Henry feel sad because it reminds him of how he used to get sick a lot. Henry then tells Edward about it and they both decide to cheer up Sir Topham Hatt’s grandkids by surprising them. I really wish this was the case because it would’ve given Henry another good starring episode in the brenner era and would’ve given Edward another starring episode. Edward was unfortunately very underutilized in the brenner era and I hate that.
I wish Henry got more episodes where he takes more heroic roles in helping other engines and stopping villains. If that were to happen if TATMR performed modestly with critics and at the box office, it would have made him Near Pure Good as he subverted most of his corrupting factors, while still keeping his arrogant trait. He shows no matter what struggles can happen, you can strive to accomplish anything. That’s why he’s a character I can relate since he’s my number one favorite character of the franchise.
Ngl I honestly found softy wimpy Henry kinda uninteresting ever since I was younger. Glad to see that it just wasn't the case looking back to the classics and original books.
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967only to be written out after that. Wilbert and Christopher completed his arc twice. Wilbert's being about overcoming the limitations of your past and Chris' being about overcoming embarrassment.
The last time I watched this, Henry was already among my favorite characters. But not my top three was probably 4th in my list. However overtime I've come to like Henry as character even was considering making him my favorite, which I couldn't have imagined he is currently my 2nd favorite character (Edward being my absolute favourite!), who also was first to introduce me Thomas thanks to the episode 'The Flying Kipper' which immediately hook me to the series and years later would reignite my intrested with Thomas again probably should get a Bachamnn Henry for my Birthday if he is available at a resonable price!
He would storm into Mattel and commit mass murder if he saw Henry in CGI. And that’s not including Magic Railroad, the HIT Seasons, BWBA, and the hundreds of other things that they f**ked up.
29:25 You know, if they want to keep both Henry and Nia in the Steam Team, they could just have Nia sleep at the Railway Works nearby so that she can be near the other engines. Simple.
There is precedent in a pacific being rebuilt onto a ten wheeler, the GWR did just that to the Great Bear. It was an under-performing disappointment, and was rebuilt into a Castle class in 1924.
The engines treated him like shit when he was in his own shape for several years so I guess all that anger came out and had a long lasting affect which changed him from a nice but ill engine to a pompous asshole in the books
I have a headcanon - it explains why Henry's behavior is so different in the later seasons compared to the Railway Series or classic seasons, but it also lines up with his characterization in the Railway Series and classic seasons. So - Henry is a rude, stuck-up, bully-type in the Railway Series and classic seasons, and it can already be implied that it is more due to him feeling insecure rather than being truly mean-spirited (Henry's Forest really adds to that). He feels a little too big-headed now that he is a much more capable engine with his new shape, but at the same time, he doubts himself, and tries to bully others to make himself feel better. On top of that, he actually does feel scared and worried a lot, but he puts on this fake "tough guy" personality to hide the fact that he is actually a worrier (Haunted Henry might be a good example of this). In the Season 7 episode "What's The Matter With Henry", Henry feels so ill he doesn't bother trying to be tough, and when Emily helps him out, he begins to rethink his life. He realizes that he wasn't always paying attention to just how kind some of the others were to him, even when he didn't deserve it himself. He begins to soften up, and drops that fake "tough guy" attitude, and becomes more caring and kind rather than standoffish and defensive. Thus, he is a much nicer character. But, Henry's tendency to worry never goes away, and now that he has stopped trying to hide his insecurity. Now that it is on full display, he becomes a full-blown hypochondriac, which he is in the later seasons.
@@JZJ7777 I also like to think that over the events of the CGI series, he learns to finally overcome his fears, thus explaining his more bold, confident self in seasons 20 and 21.
I feel like the writers of the CGI series adaptation hated Henry and purposefully wrote him as a sad pathetic loser, and loved making him suffer like the sadists they are.
I suppose hypochondriac Henry could've originated from the times when Henry was nervous to go into a blocked off tunnel or was worried about the forest during a night storm in the model series, but I would argue that those are justified fears. Especially in the case of the Elephant, since once it was revealed, his fear was replaced by total embarrassment and concern for his self image. A big engine being overpowered by an animal would be crippling for him, especially knowing Gordon would have a field day if he found out. But I also believe they may have taken his fear of rain too literal. After all, that fear was again, concern for his self image, in this case, his coat of paint. It's a shame that the CGI series suffers from this. Effectively making Henry and Toby too similar, just becoming the cowardly ones. I thought maybe they did that to help children identify themselves through them both, but....while not universal, most children can be pretty reckless when younger, not fully being aware of dangers yet.
I definitely prefer henry's tv series personality (minus being a scaredy cat who still needs the special coal). One thing I like about Henry in the TV series is that his japanese VA from 9 onward is the same person best known for voicing Sonic the Hedgehog since sonic adventure 1
Henry Is My favorite character in the show and always has sense I first saw him. T.V series Henry reminds me a lot of myself. My love for nature, me and him having a history with being sick. He even has my favorite color, number and has the first letter of my name. Me a d Henry are nearly Identical. And I always relate to his . model series character.
Appreciate I'm probably in the minority here, and it's gonna be a while until Tug gets back to where he was before the great mattel-flavoured fuckening, but I'd like to see a Sodor's Finest on Gordon in the same style as the newer ones, since Gordon's episode was moreso an extended episode of MTAKS than a full Sodor's Finest.
“I wanted an Atlantic”, he would fume, “and that f*** son of a b**** sent me that!!” That part is a gem, especially when Tug adds in censor sounds 😂
I want to read what he said TvT

And that, no doubt, is the most realest self-determinating thing to live by, big time 💯💯💯💯
Henry was literally the mvp engine of my childhood. Nothing else comes close.
He's my favorite too. I got sick a few months back for the first time in 13 years and when I was recovering, Herny's Special Coal, The Flying Kipper, and Whistles and Sneezes became 3 episodes I watched almost once a day. I truly think Henry helped me get better.
... and it not using it as an excuse for acting like an jerk
“I’m a steam engine that loves nature! Now, just let me go and call an owl stupid.” - Henry
Why do I see that. 😂
😂😂😂 I kinda like that Henry is a jerk sometimes.
Henry (voiced by alec baldwin): "Stupid bird!"
For me Henry (model series) is sort of a phrase "No matter how hard your life could be; you'll come back stronger and better." He's a fighter, being a flawed design yet still push through hardship until given an opportunity to be rebuilt and made a come back like a boss.

I had never known just how much Awdry hated Henry initially, and that he intended to write him out of the series. You do a great job really going in depth with these videos, they’re very informative and insightful! Awesome!
Wilbert actually hated James of all engines most. There's a reason why his stories about him are so mid compared to the rest.
A BAD writer gets rid of stuff that doesn’t work, a GOOD writer makes that stuff work.
If you ask me, the CGI series, especially the Brenner era should have Henry's character being a combination of his grumpy trait and his kinder, softer trait in it along with his nature loving side too.

You know I started getting into Thomas in the early 2010s by then the CGI season were underway and get this I thought the actual Henry was a scaredy cat thanks for showing me the real Henry
Henry has some of the best episodes in the entire classic series the flying kipper and Henry’s forest
I honestly find CGI Henry funny at times. The leaves on his eyes gets me everytime XD
Out of the original seven engines from Season 1, Henry has always been my favorite. Whether it be his inspiring and feel-good character journey, or the many fantastic stories he led in both the RWS and model series, something about Sodor's big green tender engine has always hit different. Henry is one of the all-time greats of the franchise, and a key character in it.
And then CGI Henry happened
@@Dr.Disney With Season 20 making him all time great again in the end.
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967Yes but after that point he didn't have a chance to shine again sadly 😔
@@fanofeverything30465 At least he's fixed in the end.
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967 And was still in character the few times he was used after that
I love this character(specifically modeled version), and Henry walled up in the tunnel is always one of the first images I see when I think of the show
Thank you for re-uploading this!
I think Henry's story is very inspiring and interesting.
Henry is a wonderful character to relate to. No matter what disabilities or prolonged illnesses he suffers from, he always wants to keep going and work hard. In the beginning, the other engines don’t take his illnesses into consideration and claim that he is lazy and overweight. But we finally get a couple of episodes which give us a deeper look into Henry’s struggles.
Henry is also a complex character because he can be just as arrogant as Gordon and James. However, he is probably the nicest towards the littler engines and the most sensitive out of the tender engines, second to Edward.
The new format for Sodor’s finest is awesome and I love it a lot, makes it so much more entertaining, in depth and fun. Love Henry and this video made me appreciate him all the more when I first watched him and it still does now, he was done so dirty in CGI, wish he wasn’t. He deserved better, he’s one of the best
At least Season 20 sorted Henry out in the end
What I don’t get about BWBA is you can just add Nia and Rebecca. It’s not that hard. You had the perfect opportunity too with James destroying Tidmouth. Just make tidmouth how it looks in the later railway series. The giant shed with the indoor turn table. Suddenly you can add nia, Rebecca, Donald and Douglas into the sheds or anyone else! The fans would love that too
"From super-chad to scared virgin," Nic, 2021. Best quote of that year.
One thing I like about CGI Henry is the model itself. Nitrogen did an excellent job at recreating the original prop
Except the face
@@pranavrao6370 yeah the face is completely different
Ma boi went from “i need special coal to do what a 27 year old american can do” to *”I pulled two whole trains and their locomotives at once”*
Henry deserves more respect both in CGI and the Classic Seasons. He is probably my second favorite. First one being Thomas ofc. Anyways cool video! So happy you're channel didn't get copyrighted so many times then one. And so happy some of you're videos got back! Especially the video of you ranking Thomas movies! Which I loved every second of listening!
Keep up the great work! Hopefully you're channel does not get copyrighted again!
The journeys of "The Three Railway Engines" - aka Henry, Gordon and Edward - were more complex in themes than they let on, especially when most fans may be more familiar with the spotlighted Thomas, Percy and James as characters. Edward's themes encompass the ability to adapt to a new situation to stay strong, and the message you don't need in necessity to be in the spotlight so much to be effective. Gordon's full arc symbolises the theme of transcending from being a self-prioritising character to a reputable and appreciative worker. Henry's arc can be compared to Prince Adam/Beast from "Beauty and the Beast"; a character with themes of having to transcend his bothersome circumstances to getting a grip with his benefits when respected. Regards, Samuel Farris.
I am so glad you reposted this one as when explaining Henry to people I refer them to this video as it's the best indepth explanation of his history ever. My dad used to tell me Henry's story but he was getting some of the details wrong and never enough of them. This video tells all and I love that about it.
Amazing video that I'm glad is back on the internet for all to see.
Henry is definitely my favorite, thank you for explaining why. I’m glad you’re back!
I found it interesting that Henry's personality in each timeline is described by how he acts and the reason he stayed in his tunnel. Like the model series, where he doesn't want his paint to be ruined
people love Henry in Super Rescue or just Super Rescue in general, but it's the journey that Henry took from being built from stolen plans, steaming issues and his rebuild after the kipper crash it's what makes Henry a fav character of mine.
it's a shame about the CGI flanderization because i really do love Henry's facial design/animation and voice (UK and US) in the CGI series. maaaybe the worrier personality could've been kept but not to such an extreme (obviously) and have it stem from his self-image/self-consciousness and not, like, snowmen?? and RAIN?!?!
My favorite Henry is both the RWS Henry & the Model Series Henry (Seasons 1-7). Henry's story has always been the most inspiring I ever heard, and his arc from sad beginnings to a glorious ending is my favorite of the Railway Series.
What I mostly appreciate about Henry's character was that he was still flawed even after he had suffered his disability in season 1. The writers could've easily just made Henry happy and go-lucky after he was rebuilt and had overcome all of his unfortunate hardships. Instead, the writers chose to have Henry become self-conscious of his image and believe that he deserves better (or more than he deserves) because of his hard life.
A theory I have of Henry's character is that he was originally just supposed to be a tool to help solidify the stereotypes of the "big engines" on Sodor in the early books. Henry was probably intentionally written as a second Gordon so that it would become clear to the audience that the big Sodor engines are the most pompous, egotistical engines on the island. I'm glad that they added a new layer of complexity to his character in season 3 in order to differentiate him. His softer side in season 3 really helped break the negative "big engine" stereotypes that he was used to construct in the earlier seasons.
Henry is one of the best engines of the steam team, I prefer the model series too. The books are good too, but the cgi Henry is a scaredy cat 🙀. They could not remember Henry doesn’t need special coal throughout the series, but his love for nature. And why would they make him so frightened about everything? Doesn’t the writers pay attention to the character throughout the series? Good review and glad you upload it.
He's had the biggest character development out of ALL the trains.
I feel like I appreciate Henry a wee bit more now! I always saw him as a second to Gordon, a similar build or engine, I didn't realise that was him who was poorly and didn't even know about Awdry's plans to write him out! It's certainly funny now, knowing his backstory!
Henry’s Hidden Secrets:
Why the hit era retconned Henry using special coal again
What if, Henry had gotten used to using special coal, he actually continued using it even after his restoration? This also affected his firebox, hence when Gordon took his special coal, Henry had a bad performance.
Why he keeps screaming in the TV series
Henry has PTSD. Why? Throughout his life he’s gone through many terrible experiences. So the Flying Kipper and Haunted Henry happened in the CGI series offscreen. This had an impact on him, hence why he was scared of Charlie, disguised as a Snowman and the Flatbeds of Fear. This continued into season 19 as he started screaming because of Chicken Pox.
Henry’s Love of Nature
When Henry was sent to crewe to be repaired, he didn’t see any trees or flowers anywhere. So when he returned Henry felt good about seeing forests.
Why he is literally afraid of rain
I believe, Henry was afraid of the rain in The Adventure Begins not because it would ruin his paint, he was afraid of the rain because it would affect his steaming problems.
Like rainwater would somehow cool his boiler enough to make all of his steam condense? I mean......the chances are never zero.
@@jamesgroccia644 something like that.
You might absolutely be right on these. Kudos.
Those are actually some pretty good theories
@@metalkidleo thanks man.
"Tonight, on EyeWitness News: Reverend Wilbert Awdry, creator of the much loved children's character Thomas the Tank Engine, is successfully resurrected over 25 years since his death."
Awdry: "Does the TV series still make Henry a silly nature lover?"
Reporter: "No, actually, he's now a hypochondriac. There's an episode where he's scared of a snowman."
Awdry: "Good night!" (flatlines)
And thus Awdry went back to spinning in his grave.
Ahhhh yes, Big Green! Not Piccolo, but Henry, the No.3 engine!
It was this video that got me hooked on your channel, glad it's back!
I've always been a fan of Henry, but now hearing the full backstory of how he came to be, I think he's earned the right to be a pompous jerk 😂
I'm not gonna lie, I love Henry in a couple of CGI series episodes and especially in the CGI special Hero of The Rails. One CGI episode, for example, is Henry's Good Deeds because that's where Henry continues acting like Edward. Because of the wanting to assist. I actually love that.
Henry is one of my three top favorite characters in Thomas and Friends along with Edward and Toby and Henry was the first engine I was introduced to in his episode the Sad Story of Henry in season one when I was three years old and it was my great grandmother’s 100th birthday and he has had a special place in my heart ❤️ ever since thanks for sharing this great video highlighting my childhood favorite engine 👍💚🚂
Out of all the engines featured in Thomas and Friends, Henry was the engine I related to the most. Growing up as a kid, I guess you could say that I was the odd one out. Had a great understanding with my family, even if they did get frustrated with me (Much like Henry's relation to the fat controller) but at school I was always seen as the socially awkward one. Again, much like how all the other engines saw Henry. However, much like the number 3 engine on Sodor, I was able to eventually rise above and push through.
If Henry was drawn as an Atlantic as Awdry had wanted things would have been much different I think.
We would have been poorer for it.
I really love Henry being a jerk, it's very true to him. If I had to rewrite the bad Henry episodes I would make him act a little more arrogant. Hold on, the writers did made him act like that in Season 20 in the episode Henry in the Dark when he gets cross with James and Gordon for teasing him.
He’s basically the King Stefan of Sodor, due to them being grumpy and wrathful while being gentle giants. But if Henry did more admirable deeds on his own like life saving, he would fit well as Near Pure Good.
Every time I see one of your videos that have CGI Henry, I get to notice more and more how much of a disaster he is compared to the Model and Railway series.
6:30 this is why I love him. He always tried to make his readers happy, even if it seemed to inconvenience him.
I love this new format and i'll like to see Edward and Gordon again but with this format
IT’S ALL COMING BACK! THANK YOU TUG!
grumpy, loves to be alone, screams a lot?
he just like me fr
As far as the CGI series is concerned with Henry's shape, I do think he was in his old shape at one point, but his flying kipper accident could have been retconned to have happened before Thomas came to the island, so he would have technically always been in this new shape. And when Thomas found out about the accident, whoever told him might have sugar-coated the fact that it was a lot more of a serious accident than initially thought.
If only the CGI series made Henry's Old Shape for The Adventure Begins.
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967 yeah if that was the case then I wouldn't have come up with that theory
That would be my thought.
@@olivermensinger6022 yeah true
Nobody points out the little bond between Henry and his driver in the early seasons. I love their interactions, and you don't really see that with other engines and their crew in the series. I wish we could've seen more of that, and that sort of stuff with other characters in the series. I just really wish they would've fleshed out some of the human characters a bit more, y'know?
His driver is always there with him in every situation he’s always right by Henry side
Ngl, I never liked the CGI Series, but I DID like "Henry's Hero" and "Henry In The Dark" for said reasons. At least we got fans who can take henry and keep him out of the terrors of the CG Series with their own recreations of his best moments. 😁
I'm glad you could re-upload your new videos. I hope everything solves soon. Good luck!!
I love Henry his story is awesome but you can’t deny the fact that he was an idiot for thinking that the rain would “spoil his lovely green paint with red stripes” it’s water and can be easily dried up.
@Dinobo The paint might not have been waterproof.
You know who else are idiots who claim Henry as "purely innocent"? Clickbait article writers.
Do you know what I find funny? The Middleton drawings of Henry resemble the North Eastern Railway's S, S1 and S2 (LNER B13, B14, B15) 4-6-0s, by dropping the trailing axle you could easily have made Henry one of those and avoided the whole sickness, crash, reconstruction plot. Bonus points if the original S class was picked because they had shallow fireboxes that made them less efficient steamers and saw Worsdell immediately build a class of Atlantics for the top express services with the S's being relegated to less strenuous work.
This is Amazing, I certainly Enjoyed That.
In my AU Henry "Was" an Altlantic but had a Small Firebox at First, Sir Topham Hatt was Happy that he got an Atlantic but then later got Mad that Henry did Run As Properly as An Atlantic would, He would need special coal throughout most of 1934, and then In Late 1934 when the Flying Kipper Crash took place Henry was sent to Crewe, where he would be turned into an LMS Black 5 (An Accurate One, Not One That Looks Like The TVS Model), To this Day he is The Only Atlantic to Be Converted into a Black 5
I really disagree with Awdry's statement regarding why a steam engine would like scenery. What would a sentient train like? Not roads, that's a rivalry. A train would care for their railway, their passengers, their paint colours (see Henry being painted blue at the end of book 1). And with the railway comes the scenery. In the books, trains did mention that their line is the best (Gordon seeing Edward's line as vulgar, Thomas really enjoying his branch line, etc.), so trains are already written to prefer some lines more than others, so why wouldn't Henry specifically like the forest part of the railway? It's a beautiful part, and it fits his green colors
Toby: Henry's broken down!
Gordon: Don't tell me he needs special coal again!
Toby: No, Gordon, that was fixed years ago.
Gosh I missed this particular video so bad! Thanks brutha!
I’m kinda in the minority of liking Henry when he’s timid. It’s weird since I started off the series in the books as opposed to the CGI series where that characterization is the most prominent.
In my opinion, the biggest weakness of the original books and, by extension, the original series, is that the characters weren’t diverse enough in terms of personality. Basically everybody had a superiority complex of some sort and was generally rude to everyone else with a few noteworthy exceptions, at least in the early books. Gordon, James, and Henry got this the worst throughout. I get that the point was for them to be a little clique, but there wasn’t enough to differentiate them meaningfully.
By rewriting Henry to be more softspoken and cautious, it adds layers of dimension not only to him, but to his dynamic with James and Gordon as well. My personal headcanon is informed by this. My interpretation is that Henry got the idea that large tender engines were expected to act like Gordon, all self-important and grand, and when James came along that preconception only got cemented more. Keeping up appearances that way also serves as a way for him to mask his disability with his small firebox, something we know he’s very self-conscious about, at least before getting rebuilt (though the CGI series suggests it’s still an issue for him). I like to think that after spending more time alone, on different parts of the island, and making some new friends, he comes to drop the act a bit, and starts getting ragged on more by Gordon and James for acting less like them.
Henry actually became my favorite character after watching the CGI series because of how unique he was and how much his personality had evolved. He’s nothing if not adorable and consistent, and I like both of those things. The Railway Series brainrot has got me bad…
POV the Rev. W. Awdry sees Henry being scared of a snowman: Now What fear does a loco steam engine being scared of a snowman.
I was actually looking for this specific video when I learned your previous channel got terminated. Glad it’s back.
I'm really glad Awdry decided to keep and work with Henry than get rid of him. I love all the characters, but Henry holds a special place as an actual comfort character due to his struggles and being the "problem child" of the family.
When I was young, I used to get sick all the damn time. While I wasn't like my mom who broke both her arms and an ankle during her childhood, I wasn't spared when it came to getting every cold and flu that came along with being at school. A lot of the days I missed as a young kid were due to me just not kicking these illnesses to the curb as quick as a lot of kids. Hell, even if I'm better now, about every little thing under the sun can set me off into a sneezing fit. Makes me wonder if being as constantly sick as I was as a kid has damaged my sinuses.
If Awdry had his way and got rid of Henry, I don't think I'd ever have a comfort character. I love the other engines to death, but the only one I relate to is Henry. It's a horrible feeling when your health holds you back.
Chris also handled him fairly well. His arc kinda dates back to his first ever debut story in the entirety of the Railway Series, when he complained about his own image.
i love how in season five in one episode henry just roasted thomas
That's the Henry we should've seen more often in the CGI series instead of the total coward he was dumbed down to.
There was definitely something in the air during that episode
This is my favorite episode of sodors finest
For the longest time, I thought Henry had some form of train breathing problem. I was so wrong.
25:53 is a superb dub job. Well done
Henry really is just a tragic figure ain’t he? Poor guy never catches a break
my theory is that Henry still needs special coal,but not that much.
i think that when he was sent to Crewe,they rebuilt him and fixed almost all of his steaming problems,but he’s still ill sometimes like everyone but just needs special coal. one of the few characters that need it. just take this with a grain of salt.
In my headcanon there are 3 separate canons for Henry in each era
8:00 sir topham hatt said "I wanted an Atlantic" he would be fume, "and that _____, ______, _____ sent me that!"
My favourite character back with his own Sodor's Finest.
As a kid, I just saw Henry as the green version of Gordon and now I know why
Henry’s Spots Trouble should’ve instead had been called Edward, Henry and the Spots and be a down to earth slice of life episode where Henry is told that Sir Topham Hatt’s grandkids have chickenpox and it makes Henry feel sad because it reminds him of how he used to get sick a lot. Henry then tells Edward about it and they both decide to cheer up Sir Topham Hatt’s grandkids by surprising them. I really wish this was the case because it would’ve given Henry another good starring episode in the brenner era and would’ve given Edward another starring episode. Edward was unfortunately very underutilized in the brenner era and I hate that.
We all know henry has issues, but, we all know he has the best theme ever.
Agreed
Percy’s theme
I wish Henry got more episodes where he takes more heroic roles in helping other engines and stopping villains. If that were to happen if TATMR performed modestly with critics and at the box office, it would have made him Near Pure Good as he subverted most of his corrupting factors, while still keeping his arrogant trait. He shows no matter what struggles can happen, you can strive to accomplish anything. That’s why he’s a character I can relate since he’s my number one favorite character of the franchise.
i thought henry was soft and kind,but in the old days,he was a grumpy and big bully💀💀💀💀
Ngl I honestly found softy wimpy Henry kinda uninteresting ever since I was younger. Glad to see that it just wasn't the case looking back to the classics and original books.
Obviously I’m happy for the reupload, but thank you Tug for helping me figure out that Henry is my favorite character.
Not CGI Henry, he sucks.
Season 20 fixed him up.
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967only to be written out after that. Wilbert and Christopher completed his arc twice. Wilbert's being about overcoming the limitations of your past and Chris' being about overcoming embarrassment.
The last time I watched this, Henry was already among my favorite characters. But not my top three was probably 4th in my list. However overtime I've come to like Henry as character even was considering making him my favorite, which I couldn't have imagined he is currently my 2nd favorite character (Edward being my absolute favourite!), who also was first to introduce me Thomas thanks to the episode 'The Flying Kipper' which immediately hook me to the series and years later would reignite my intrested with Thomas again probably should get a Bachamnn Henry for my Birthday if he is available at a resonable price!
Having the same name as Henry, it made him my favorite engine (besides Thomas)
30:34 Honestly, he would be spinning in his grave if he saw 26:55 and 30:38.
Lord have mercy for his wrath would destroy us all!.
He would storm into Mattel and commit mass murder if he saw Henry in CGI. And that’s not including Magic Railroad, the HIT Seasons, BWBA, and the hundreds of other things that they f**ked up.
29:25 You know, if they want to keep both Henry and Nia in the Steam Team, they could just have Nia sleep at the Railway Works nearby so that she can be near the other engines. Simple.
Henry always had the short end of the stick yet he kept on moving, what a chad.
At least The Flying Kipper is the only thing that sticks with Henry from the model series to CGI.
There is precedent in a pacific being rebuilt onto a ten wheeler, the GWR did just that to the Great Bear. It was an under-performing disappointment, and was rebuilt into a Castle class in 1924.
Henry is the definition of a chad!
Probably except in CGI though 🙁
In my opinion.
Thomas and Henry have a Wallace and Gromit style relationship.
I don't know why I think that, I just do.
The engines treated him like shit when he was in his own shape for several years so I guess all that anger came out and had a long lasting affect which changed him from a nice but ill engine to a pompous asshole in the books
I have a headcanon - it explains why Henry's behavior is so different in the later seasons compared to the Railway Series or classic seasons, but it also lines up with his characterization in the Railway Series and classic seasons.
So - Henry is a rude, stuck-up, bully-type in the Railway Series and classic seasons, and it can already be implied that it is more due to him feeling insecure rather than being truly mean-spirited (Henry's Forest really adds to that). He feels a little too big-headed now that he is a much more capable engine with his new shape, but at the same time, he doubts himself, and tries to bully others to make himself feel better. On top of that, he actually does feel scared and worried a lot, but he puts on this fake "tough guy" personality to hide the fact that he is actually a worrier (Haunted Henry might be a good example of this).
In the Season 7 episode "What's The Matter With Henry", Henry feels so ill he doesn't bother trying to be tough, and when Emily helps him out, he begins to rethink his life. He realizes that he wasn't always paying attention to just how kind some of the others were to him, even when he didn't deserve it himself. He begins to soften up, and drops that fake "tough guy" attitude, and becomes more caring and kind rather than standoffish and defensive. Thus, he is a much nicer character.
But, Henry's tendency to worry never goes away, and now that he has stopped trying to hide his insecurity. Now that it is on full display, he becomes a full-blown hypochondriac, which he is in the later seasons.
I love that headcanon!
@@JZJ7777 Thanks! This is actually kind of a theory, because if you ignore The Adventure Begins, there is actually a lot of evidence to support it...
@@JZJ7777 I also like to think that over the events of the CGI series, he learns to finally overcome his fears, thus explaining his more bold, confident self in seasons 20 and 21.
@@davydigger708 yeah, I agree.
I feel like the writers of the CGI series adaptation hated Henry and purposefully wrote him as a sad pathetic loser, and loved making him suffer like the sadists they are.
I suppose hypochondriac Henry could've originated from the times when Henry was nervous to go into a blocked off tunnel or was worried about the forest during a night storm in the model series, but I would argue that those are justified fears. Especially in the case of the Elephant, since once it was revealed, his fear was replaced by total embarrassment and concern for his self image. A big engine being overpowered by an animal would be crippling for him, especially knowing Gordon would have a field day if he found out.
But I also believe they may have taken his fear of rain too literal. After all, that fear was again, concern for his self image, in this case, his coat of paint.
It's a shame that the CGI series suffers from this. Effectively making Henry and Toby too similar, just becoming the cowardly ones. I thought maybe they did that to help children identify themselves through them both, but....while not universal, most children can be pretty reckless when younger, not fully being aware of dangers yet.
Finally this video is back...
WOW TVS Henry is the Lead.
Dang, so Henry is a universe changing character. If his events were different, it would have affected thomas in ways we can only imagine
I definitely prefer henry's tv series personality (minus being a scaredy cat who still needs the special coal). One thing I like about Henry in the TV series is that his japanese VA from 9 onward is the same person best known for voicing Sonic the Hedgehog since sonic adventure 1
The Brenner era correct the still needs special coal thing.
Henry Is My favorite character in the show and always has sense I first saw him. T.V series Henry reminds me a lot of myself. My love for nature, me and him having a history with being sick. He even has my favorite color, number and has the first letter of my name. Me a d Henry are nearly Identical. And I always relate to his . model series character.
Appreciate I'm probably in the minority here, and it's gonna be a while until Tug gets back to where he was before the great mattel-flavoured fuckening, but I'd like to see a Sodor's Finest on Gordon in the same style as the newer ones, since Gordon's episode was moreso an extended episode of MTAKS than a full Sodor's Finest.
I would like to see him remaster his Edward and Gordon Sodor’s Finest eps at some point, but give him time.
@@olivermensinger6022He'll probably do that in celebration of a milestone
If Awdry saw henry srceaming at a snowman he would be like thomas fan with the HIT era
